We’ve added greater flexibility to how cPanel users can manage, protect, and administer email addresses on their mail server. You can now suspend or queue the outgoing mail from a single email account on your server.

Calling all WordPress devs, agencies and web admins – How smoothly do you manage your WordPress sites and apps? You, like millions of other WordPress users, know the feeling of workload stress. And with the need to save time and get more done, Plesk created an all-in-one solution. We packed our latest WordPress Toolkit update with simplified ways to build, secure and run your WordPress.
Make your life as a WordPress user easier, whether you’re a beginner or pro. Simplify a variety of dev workflows, automate tasks and manage instances- using a single dashboard. Plesk has created the most complete, secure and versatile toolkit for WordPress. Let’s run through the benefits.
You can initialize and configure WordPress from start to finish, with one button. And one dashboard to mass-manage multiple WordPress instances. Quickly clone, sync, update, migrate and execute complex tasks. You can even manage multiple plugins and themes at once!
We all want a safe testing space to eliminate high-risk activities, right? That’s another WordPress Toolkit plus. Got a new brilliant idea to implement – plugins, features, themes or code? Test it in a sandbox before pushing to production. Then click to sync when you’ve smoothened the kinks and squashed the bugs. With one-click staging, the days of coding live are behind you.
Plesk made sure that the WordPress Toolkit fortifies your site by default. It comes with a security scanner that implements the latest security practices and extensions, including best recommendations from WP Codex and Security Experts. This goes beyond the basic hardening you normally find with other panels.
So there’s no security expertise necessary because the toolkit does all the heavy-lifting for you. When you scan all your WordPress sites with Plesk, you can identify and protect your core installations. All you need to do from your end is check the items you wish to harden, click “Secure”, and you’re done.
It’s really simple, but not amateur. You get full control with:
To update WordPress, plugins or themes, all you need to do is activate Maintenance Mode and follow the buttons. If something goes wrong or you deploy something breaks stuff, Restore Points and Backups let you restore your site back to its former glory. You can also manage all important debug options in WordPress or on a per-instance basis, from one interface.
Choose to enable or disable the option for search engines to index your site on a case-by-case basis. And if you need to, you can get easy access to WP-CLI for any WordPress instances. We’re talking – importing a database, creating a new user, updating themes and plugins – all in a flash.

Rackspace had the most reliable hosting company website in March 2018, with no failed requests and an average connection time of 22ms—the quickest amongst the top ten. Rackspace provides a diverse range of managed cloud hosting solutions to customers around the globe, with data centres and offices in the US, Europe, Asia, and Australia.
Four other hosting company sites also successfully responded to all requests this month, with the tie broken by average connection time. XILO Communications takes second place with a 71ms average connection time. XILO Communications has maintained 99.99% uptime over 5 years, and has appeared in the top ten in each of the first three months of 2018.
Third and fourth place positions were extremely close, with a difference of just 1ms in the sites’ average connection times separating them. Webair came in third place, with an 81ms average connection time. Webair provides managed cloud services from its data centres in New York, Los Angeles, Montreal, and Amsterdam.
Hyve Managed Hosting‘s site takes fourth place with an average connection time of 82ms. Hyve continues its top ten streak, now having had its site in the top ten for 14 consecutive months. Hyve operates its services from 18 different data centres worldwide and has maintained 100% uptime since Netcraft began monitoring it in June 2016. CWCS takes fifth place with a connection time of 116ms, also with no failed requests.
Linux is the most popular operating system among the top ten this month, accounting for seven of the top ten sites. FreeBSD makes a couple of appearances, with SmartOS making a single appearance.
Netcraft measures and makes available the response times of around thirty leading hosting providers’ sites. The performance measurements are made at fifteen minute intervals from separate points around the internet, and averages are calculated over the immediately preceding 24 hour period.
From a customer’s point of view, the percentage of failed requests is more pertinent than outages on hosting companies’ own sites, as this gives a pointer to reliability of routing, and this is why we choose to rank our table by fewest failed requests, rather than shortest periods of outage. In the event the number of failed requests are equal then sites are ranked by average connection times.
Information on the measurement process and current measurements is available.
